Textile art has surged into the spotlight, shedding its long-standing association with domesticity and craft to take center stage in galleries, biennales, and critical discourse. Authors Ramona Barry and Beck Jobson explore this vibrant resurgence, and the way artists across the globe are embracing traditional techniques like weaving, embroidery, quilting, and dyeing, while pushing them into bold, new territories. Far from decorative or nostalgic, these works speak to urgent contemporary themes: identity, gender, migration, and the environment.
